Under the Shade

We drank gin
& tonics at the bottom
 
of the sea
on Thursdays
 
in between silence
& conversations
 
about human things
like how to breathe
 
underwater     
the blue glow
 
of smartphones
& half a country
 
between us
you taught me
 
how the gills
are both beautiful
 
& dangerous
& when the manta
 
ray passed nearby
docile & mis-
 
understood we
spoke low & our
 
fingers touched
its living shadow
